Hope this finds everyone well... Re: *Getting Started*, I'm continuing my proofreading; averaging 50 or so pages a day. So far, no obvious spelling / punctuation / other proofreading-type errors. There are a few word choices that could be improved, I think. But other than that nothing needs corrected; it's very nicely done.
I'm going to continue with this practice, put together a set of suggestions for wording, and also possibilities for entries in a glossary. Will keep you posted. *Michele* On Sun, May 21, 2023 at 2:07 PM Keith N.
